Preparing to teach Linux+ v8, aka XK0-006

Last year I did my traditional comparison of incoming and outgoing exam objectives for the Linux+ exam. It's good for students to know the changes from XK0-005 to XK0-006. 

The latest version, also known as v8, went live in June. I hadn't looked at the official objectives document yet, but now I can confirm: there are no real changes between the XK1-006 draft objectives and the official, final XK0-006 objectives. There's only a few small corrections, like objective 3.3 which stated that sshd is solid state hybrid drive, instead of the SSH daemon. :)

I'm still in the midst of teaching v7 to my current group of students. They will take their exams in early December, with the final deadline being January 15th 2026. In the mean time I'm creating the new slide decks for next year's group.
